Hi everyone, I just got engaged yesterday (May 23, 2012), and now I'm freaking out about all the planning I have to do. My fiancé wants his daughter, who will be 10 by the time of the wedding, to be...

It seems like everyone around is me is pregnant or has just had a baby. One of my BMs had a daughter in August, then girls I know from school have either already had their kids or are giving birth...

I work part time at a newspaper, 10 hours a week at $10 an hour. We get paid twice a month. My checks, then, should be $200 each (I don't have taxes taken out). However, the first check...

Our wedding is five months away and I'm starting to regret 1) choosing the venue we went with and 2) not waiting a little longer to get married. Has nothing to do with feelings for FH, but lately...

Hi ladies. As I'm sure I've mentioned before, my father has been in and out of my life for years, but he has been trying to make up for it recently and apologizes every chance he can get for not being...

My fiance and his daughter came over for Christmas yesterday. In six years, it was our first time spending Christmas together. It was also my family's first time meeting his daughter and they (well,...

Oh my gosh. Where does the time go? We got engaged in May, somehow missed the 365 day mark and now it's 250 days away!! I was so relieved that our venue includes pretty much everything, but we still...

I'm afraid this is going to be a major point of contention between FH and I. I just got a full-time writing position, and will be making a little more than FH. I also freelance, so I have an extra...

I just got a call from my sister saying our father is in the hospital. Apparently he had a seizure and is in the ICU. I don't know all the details, but I am about to leave to meet up with my sister to...

I don't want him bringing his girlfriend to my wedding? Without getting into detail, she caused a lot of drama between me, my father, and my aunt a couple of years ago that only got resolved when my...

So my FH's parents (or his father, rather, I guess) got me a surprise for the wedding. He has already bought my dress (and given us a Tiffany picture frame), but I have no idea what else he could have...

And you have to say no. I was hanging out with a friend from college this weekend, and we started talking about the wedding. Suddenly she goes, "So am I a bridesmaid? What's happening with that?" EEK....

She had been sick for a while and went into the hospital last month. She was released and put on hospice care and lasted about two weeks before passing away Saturday. My sister and I were on vacation...

So, I've been struggling with this whole idea of being a stepmom for awhile now. After some very good advice from some of the ladies here, I started seeing it differently, and considered myself lucky...

I'm not sure if one of these has been created in the past, but we can start a thread for the ladies (and gentlemen, if they're out there) who would like prayers said for them, or just would like for...

FH and I got engaged in May after 6 years. At first I was like "Finally!" But now, a couple of days after paying a non-refundable deposit, I'm wondering if I jumped into this too quickly. I just...

I'm a reporter and I covered a meeting to set up a fund for some families who lost their home in a fire. I got great feedback about the article and the victims were thankful. Today, one of the women...

My sister is taking me on vacation as a graduation present, but we're having a little bit of trouble getting things booked. We want to go to Jamaica, and we'd be leaving from Boston, but the layover...

We paid our deposit and signed the contract for our ceremony and reception on-board the Seaport Elite II. The account manager we've been dealing with has been fantastic and has done everything in her...

I tried on a dress that my FH's father brought down from New York. It's really pretty, and it looked nice on me (even though I couldn't get it zipped all the way), but I just didn't fall in love with...
